Right, so Aquinas is saying
"god exists and all things exist, change is the norm and the idea of a start isnt correct because we have no idea that things didnt ever not exist",
Y/N?
(I always say im not going to go into it then i go into it hehe)
no lol that's in no way what hes saying
Okay, whats he saying then
Hes saying that based on the fact that change occurs, and based on the nature of change, there must be something unchanging ontologically prior to EVERYTHING
He never appealed to ignorance
I dont see how what i said contradicts what you say there
"the idea of a start isnt correct because we have no idea that things didnt ever not exist", "
But thats okay, i see what youre saying
Ill skip to the point i like to drop
go on
An actual has to act to make a potential actual. There can only be a finite ammount of actuals. What was the first actual, one that didn't need another actual to cause it?
Is god all knowing?
Omnipotent, omnipresent, he knows all that is, will be and has been before, during and after it happening.
yes or no?
yep
okay
come on, spit it out punk
So we have a creator who knows what you will do next, yes?
sure
Okay so does he have a morality too?
Morality is engrained within god
Ie, 'dont shag his nan or kill people'
or
Yes morality is engrained within god
It means dont have sex with his grandmother
God is by definition moral
in christian morality, "evil" is simply a lack of good
^easter bros stole that from aquinas but ok
and God has the ultimate amount of goodness ingrained into Him
haven't read tommy i've just heard this parroted
i think Aquinas is the real jesus
guess he was based
Okay so we have
>god that knows all that is, will be and has been
>he has a list of good and bad things
Do you and I, creations of god, have free will?
Da.
oh i get where you're going at
but do go on
Same
Okay now we have completely set the stage
This is it
